Tesco, I agree with much of what you have said in this thread. And I do agree that we need to proceed very carefully over the next few weeks and months that we truley seek justice, and not simply revenge. But Democracy and Freedom are not simply "propoganda words".
What they truly represent to us is difficult to understand, and even harder to put into words. Many Americans even have no idea what they mean. But if we do not, it is not because we do not value them dearly. It is simply because they are so much an ingrained part of our identity, that we often take them for granted.
